Kanonkop: Legacy and provenance

A fourth-generation family wine farm, Kanonkop has built a legacy as one of South Africa’s most iconic estates. Perched among the soaring, red-soiled hills surrounding the mighty Simonsberg Mountain, the vineyards are planted to Pinotage, Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon, and Merlot. Guided by a deep appreciation for tradition and terroir, the Krige brothers and their winemaking team craft wines of exceptional quality and character.

Join chief operating officer Louw Strydom and explore current and library Kanonkop wines dating back to 2006 – including the iconic Paul Sauer – alongside a specially designed menu at The Dorset in downtown Toronto.
